“I mean we’re not changing the name of the festival. We probably won’t call it stemfest in the media at all. But it’s just a way to laugh and have a little bit of fun,” Auwerda said.

The festival begins this weekend.

It's named for the tulips, but is meant to celebrate Dutch heritage in Holland. There will still be plenty of street scrubbing and Dutch dancing in those awesome wooden shoes. (There’s also parades, rides, good eats, concerts, and crafts; lots of info here.)
